Fredo Corleone: It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says...like dumb...I'm smart and I want respect!

This scene is, of course, from the Godfather II. A classic film and possibly the only sequel in history to ever be considered better than the original.

That is, until today. Until Brad J. Lamb decided that one masterpiece wasn't quite enough. As if he somehow hadn't pushed the envelope with his Gold Paint Brush-winning: "This Lamb Sells Condos," featuring his head on a lamb's body. Nope. Mr. Lamb decided that he would just go ahead and break all the rules by putting his head on a lamb's body and that lamb would be flying above the earth like some kind of an astronaut person and the headline would read: "MILES ABOVE THE COMPETITION." Amazing! Now, I'm feeling sort of very lighthea--

--Wow, I think I may have just fainted. Twisted my left ankle. It's okay now. I'm fine. In fact, I'm better than fine. I would say that I'm ecstatic! Bless you Brad J. Lamb. And bless the Titanium Paint Brush I'm sending your way.

Hymen Roth: What we'll do together in the next few months will make history, Michael -- history. It's never been done before. Not even your father would dream that such a thing could be possible.

Nice timing, Mr. Nichols. The gang here at Keepin' It Realtor finally put down our chisels and tablets and decide to take a whirl at this Internet thing, and who should come along but you. You with your cutting-edge website with its fancy .com web address, convenient, adjustable scroll bar on the side, and most importantly, the "House-Trained REALTOR" money shot of you beside a dog. YES, Benjamin, we not only get it, we LOVE it! Kudos!! Your Gold Cyber Paint Brush is being sent via "email." Ha! Only kidding. That's impossible.

Andrei, we can barely spell your last name, but we can certainly spell "a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e." If there were a Paint Brush for cute cats, you'd have won gold. There isn't. But you were very close. The backside of your beautiful calendar card deserves a Silver Paint Brush. Congrats!
